New Premier



For those of you that haven't followed the PC Leadership race - Ed Stelmach is going to be the new Premier of Alberta. I know that (at least in the Hutchinson family) there is a diverse group of opinions on politics. My opinion is that I'm happy with this outcome. I'll be honest and say that I'm not well versed in the platforms of all the contenders, and have not given the situation as much time as I think I should have (considering that these results will affect all Albertans whether they participate or not) - but I have listened enough to hear that Ed Stelmach, should he continue in the way he has so far, will make a good Premier. It's been said that Ed is the only contender that has not used slander of the opposition as an attempt to increase their support. I applaud that and think it's a great example of true leadership.
There is more than this example to make me think that Alberta is on it's way to a good future.
Check out the new Premier's site to educate yourself on the new leader of one (if not THE) best places to live in this world.
